My Project

Distance learning may have started to feel like a thing of the past, but teachers and students are still feeling the effects that COVID-19 has had on both social and academic learning. These materials would help to make our classroom a more organized, functional, and fun space to learn. A carpet would provide students with designated spots where they can sit and be closer to the whiteboard, and number stickers for the floor will help them with lining up. The file folders, hole punches, and double sided tape will help us display student work. Students always feel a sense of pride when they see the projects that they have worked hard on displayed on the walls of their classroom.
